Year 10
Deakin University Visit
The Year 10 students visited Deakin University on Monday 29 October 2018. Students from Deakin University spoke about their pathways and courses they were completing at Deakin University. Student Ambassadors gave Year 10 students a tour of the university and students attended either a Health, Science or Business presentation. Just the layout of the university was very interesting for some students and also the students were very interested in the wide variety of courses.

Accessing VCE results and ATARs 2018
VCE results and ATARs will be released at 7am Friday 14 December.
The procedure to access VCE results and ATARs in 2018 is mostly the same as last year, with one key change. Where in years past students have been given a default PIN (their date of birth) and a strong recommendation to change it, they are now required to register and create their own password.
How do students register for the joint results service?
Registration is open at https://resultsandatar.vic.edu.au/ and will remain open through the results release period. For obvious reasons, it is recommended that students not wait until 6:58am on the morning of the release to register.
To register, students will need to provide their name, VCE student number, date of birth and an email address.
